Surgical Instrument Reprocessing
Ultrasonic cleaning is the most effective method of pre-sterilisation cleaning of complex surgical instruments. The properties of ultrasonic cleaning mean that even hidden and difficult to reach surface areas, such as those found on hinges, screw threads and serrated edges are decontaminated. Ultrasonic cleaners remove debris and bioburden from instruments prior to the disinfection stage of the process. If an instrument is not cleaned, it cannot be sterilised.
The Hygea Range
Ultrawave recognise the importance of infection control and have developed the Hygea range of ultrasonic cleaners. Fully HTM2030 compliant, the Hygea 1250 benchtop ultrasonic cleaner and the Hygea 5000 hollow lumen instrument cleaner provide fast, effective cleaning of surgical instruments. Used in Sterile Service Departments, Dentists, GP surgeries and other healthcare environments, the Hygea range provides excellent cleaning results every time. |
Medical Device Manufacture
The importance of effective and stringent cleaning methods in the medical device manufacturing industry cannot be over emphasised. As well as the use of ultrasonic technology in the manufacture of surgical instruments, ultrasonics is also a recognised process in the manufacture and production of orthopaedic implants.
